Best Wine Coolers

If you’re a wine enthusiast, or even someone who enjoys their fair share of wine, a great wine cooler can enhance the taste of your wine and ensure that it remains cool for when you need it. Plus, it’s simply a nice, organized way to store your wine.

Of course, there are quite a few options for wine coolers out there, and they’re not all created equally. That’s why we’ve put together this guide -- to help you find the best wine cooler for your situation.

There are a few things to consider when buying a wine cooler. For starters, you’ll want to think about the overall size of the wine cooler you want. Most range in between the 30-60 bottle range.

You’ll also want to consider the tech under the hood. There are single-zone coolers and dual-zone coolers, with dual-zone being better for those that have a growing collection and with both reds and whites -- thanks to the fact that you can set different temperatures for different zones of the cooler. (We've also compiled a list of the best wine delivery subscription services that could be a perfect pair to your new cooler.)

EdgeStar has become known as somewhat of a leader in the wine-cooling industry and for good reason. Not only do many of its coolers offer dual-zone cooling and plenty of space, but they’re also pretty nicely designed. On this particular cooler, you’ll get a top section, which can cool to between temperatures of 41-54-degrees fahrenheit, and a bottom zone, which is capable of cooling to between 54 and 64-degrees fahrenheit. That makes it perfect for those like a nice selection of red wine, with some space for a few bottles of white wine too. The front panel is pretty easy to use -- simply hit the arrows to turn up or down the temperature for your desired zone.

Perhaps you’re looking for something a little smaller? If that’s the case, then the Avanti EWC1021 is a better choice for you. It still has space for 12 bottles of wine, which for many, will be plenty. It is only single-zone, but again, many users will be perfectly fine with that. The design of the wine cooler is pretty nice too. It features a curved door, along with a nice top control panel. It also offers a thermoelectric cooling system, which is pretty quiet and environmentally friendly.

The Kalamera 24-inch 46-bottle cooler is a little different than the other coolers on this list. Why? Because it’s aimed at being built-in to your kitchen. As you can see from the image above, the cooler fits nice and snugly under your kitchen counter, saving on space and making for a much nicer look. We recommend that you consult a professional before buying this, and making sure that you’re certain it’ll fit in your kitchen, but assuming it does, it’s an excellent choice. It offers dual-zone cooling, with space for a hefty 46 bottles. It’s easy to adjust the temperature too, thanks to the panel that sits in between the two zones.

Perhaps you’re looking for something a little more...substantial. The Edgestar CWR1661SZDUAL offers space for an absolutely massive 332 bottles of wine. It’s actually two of Edgestar’s 166-bottle units, but by buying two at once, you’ll save $100 -- which isn’t bad. Make no mistake, this probably isn’t for a small apartment. This is for those that are building a colossal wine collection, hosting massive parties, and want plenty of wine to go around at all times.

NewAir has a pretty nice 32-bottle cooler too -- the fridge offers two zones, one on each side, along with classy-looking LED lighting to help the cooler look nice amongst your other home decor. Unlike the other 32-bottle cooler on this list, the NewAir AW-321ED offers thermoelectric cooling, meaning that it will likely be quieter than many of the compression-based coolers on this list. It also allows you to cool to between 46 and 66-degrees fahrenheit, which is a pretty decent range of cooling.
